A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....09-22-03....Military Monday
Billie

Posted on 09/22/2003 7:07:04 AM PDT by Billie




A Few of FR's Finest
....Every Day
FR is a Treasure Trove of talented, compassionate, patriotic, wonderful people who gather every day to discuss the latest news and issues; salute and support our military and our leaders;  tell a few jokes;  learn a new word;  write poetry;  pray for those in need;  and congratulate those who are deserving. Thank you, Jim Robinson, for giving us the vehicle in which we can express ourselves.
Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.






A Few of FR's Finest November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I could no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I had been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.
Still that didn't seem to be enough. I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why we've created a place for just that. This is a friendly room in JimRob's house where FReeper FRiends can gather every day and just say hello if that's all they want to do.
There's more of course. We sometimes feature different FReepers, with a little background information on who they are and what makes them who they are, along with a few photos you might not have seen on other threads; sometimes others write an essay for us to post as the feature for the day; sometimes our presentation is a human interest story found elsewhere that you might not have read; sometimes special holiday threads; but whatever the topic of the day, it is always with FR's Finest in mind and that is YOU!
If you would like to be featured, or would like to see someone else featured, please send me a private FR mail.
Every Monday we will post the photos of FR's Military Personnel that I have collected and put into groups; these will be available to view through a link the remainder of the week - every day just a click away. :)   If you would like to add a photo of yourself or a loved one in the military, past or present, please let me know; I will hold it until I have enough for a new group.
Thank you, and please have fun with us...every day! ~ Billie

Billie, My wife ODC_GIRL is going Active Duty Air Force on 01OCT03 - supporting Homeland Defense at Selfridge Air National Guard Base. Thanks for all the support you are showing for our military members! God Bless you and God Bless America - may she learn from her hard lessons.

Good morning all.

It is wonderful that you are taking over the FReeper Photo Album for LBGA, dan and dansy. Continued prayers are going up for her and her family and friends.

Hugs all around on this beautiful Military Monday.

How are you doing, Cal? I heard the flu grabbed you. Hope you will be up and around and back to your old self real soon.

Thanks for list & for a wonderful thread (which I do not visit as often as I would like.

Re: list

a group of Ohio Girl-type FReepers are meeting in Columbus Thurs for lunch, chat & will have a prayer time .. I will make sure to bring this list.

If you know of any Ohio (or other states for anyone wishing to drive) women who would like to join us we can provide details via FReepmail.

God bless all these beloved sons of America you continue to commemorate, for whom Love of Country and Freedom was more than a token concept....

They acted upon their beliefs, going into what erroneously was called a 'Futile' War - - it served to slow down the rapid advancement of Communism that was devouring everything in its path during the Not So Cold War....

Too many Americans then - and now - think from a level of self-indulgent complacency, not realizing it takes the acts of the brave and dedicated to PROTECT THEM and ENSURE PEACE - - -

God bless your sons, ladtx, and all the wonderful men and women who are truly "there - for us - -"

Hi Billie and lovely sistahs...A busy monday work day but had to sneak a few moments in to say hi. BTW, I heard an interview with Steven Roberts (cokie's husband) this a.m. about the 2nd bombing of the UN and how the UN actually does a much better job than the media portrays. He said it's similar to current reports on Iraq, only the bad stuff is reported...not any of the good things that are happening. Wonder if he'll be fired for this "slip"!

Will stop back after work. Have a great afternoon all!

Oh, Dansy and .45man...that's so great that your taking over the photo album...prayers for Lynne

Thanks for the ping, Meek!

If anyone wants one of these done for a serviceman or woman you know, please FREEPmail me.

I do these (take your old photo and turn it into a frameable work of art) with a quick turn around time. Any branch of service.

Psst. "Jingle bells, jingle bells..."
